### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-04-01, version 3.0.3*

Was kind of annoying when a pairing that could have been correct didn't work. For example “fish” could work with “net” (fish net) but that took a heart, because it was meant to be fish sticks. Happened a couple times, I think “acting out” was another. And some of the pairings are awkward or forced. Entertaining enough but would like to see more clear levels and more diversity in pairings.

### 5/5 — Shocked by all the low reviews

*2018-11-11, version 3.0.3*

I love it. I'm a big Chain Reaction fan, so I'm super excited to find this. 

The creator, Spencer Baker, also has another word chain game like this one, but it's not multiple choice. Trying it next.

### 2/5 — Too Easy Now

*2016-12-24, version 3.0.1*

I thought the latest upgrade was cosmetic only, but it is now a totally different app. It is too easy - giving us choices takes the fun out of it.

### 1/5 — Upgraded app, different game

*2016-12-05, version 3.0.1*

Upgraded app and it's completely different. I deleted it. You used to be able to just get the first letter of the next word and guess letters until you got the word now it's just multiple-choice for what the next word is. Too easy, disappointed.

### 3/5 — Gone easy

*2016-12-02, version 3.0.1*

I have enjoyed this game especially the multiplayer, since the recent update not so much. I find that it is way too easy now with it giving u possible answers to the chain. I enjoyed it more when I had to actually think of a word that could possibly work with the chain. Just don't find it challenging enough anymore.

### 1/5 — Update crashes

*2016-11-30, version 3.0.1*

Only able to play a few times. Now it crashes within a few seconds. Original version worked much better.

### 1/5 — Problems

*2016-11-27, version 3.0*

I like this game, but I'm having problem playing this game.  It's like it's on tutorial, then kicks me out.  I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, but it's still doing it.  It won't let me play 😡😡😡😡. Very frustrated!!!

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2016-11-25, version 3.0*

This is fine just to kill time, but there's no goal. It just cycles through the same words endlessly. No timer, no scoring... meh.

### 1/5 — What the!

*2016-11-25, version 3.0*

This new revamped version blows to put it lightly. Now you just pick a word from some choices. Before it was like the game show chain reaction and you had to guess the next word in the chain by writing a word. This is awful!

### 5/5 — Gets your brain going

*2016-11-23, version 3.0*

Ever since I downloaded this game I have been getting A's on all of my college exams.
